Any Non-Baptist Christians here?

Both "repented of my sins" and "confessed Jesus as my Lord" are somethings you are saying you did toward salvation. Jesus indeed taught repentance, Mark 1:15. But what Bible verse teaches we need to repent of one's sins? Romans 10:9 we have the promise of salvation for confessing Jesus as Lord and believing in one's heart God raise Jesus from the dead.

What do you mean by 'Easy Believism?'

 

Nope. If they were Christians, they would have left the Catholic cult.

 

How? By giving them a false gospel that denies the sufficiency of Christ? By telling them they can expiate their own sins in the mythical land of Purgatory? By telling them to pray to dead people?

 

Actually, that you work your way to eternal life is a key tenet of Catholicism. That's why the Council of Trent calls anyone who believes you can have eternal life without working for it "anathema" and why CCC 1475 says you must expiate your own sins in Purgatory.

Where does the Bible say anything about "giving your heart to Jesus"?

Who says you were saved before you joined the Catholic cult? That you walked away from Christ to join that damnable cult would be evidence you were NOT saved.​

 

Oh, believe me. I've seen that right here on Baptistboard.

However, the fact remains that Baptists fall within the bounds of orthodoxy, while Catholicism does not.

 

Easy-believism teaches conversion through faith alone. It denies that repentance and surrender to Christ are components of salvation.

 

This is the Protestant cheap grace and it is a false gospel. This Protestant cheap grace renders the Kingdom a marketplace where they stand idly by instead of the Vineyard for laborers.

 

No, you have it wrong. The traditional definition of Christian orthodoxy as it has been known through the ages has been a belief in the sacraments, all seven of them. Baptists on the other hand reject them, they are so far out there they are actually renegades from the original renegade Martin Luther.

 

We all participate in our own salvation. It starts with faith in the saving grace of Jesus Christ and as the scriptures clearly say over and over again in the end we will be judged on what we have done in this life and that truth cannot be denied.

 

Yes, Baptists and others of their ilk take the easy way out. "I'm saved, I'm saved" and that's all they think they have to do. Each believer can have their own scriptural interpretation and woe to the person who says they are wrong in it.

All one has to do is look at their worship service where the pulpit is the focus of everything, quite unlike how Jesus commands that the focus of worship should be which is his great sacrifice on the cross - the sacrificial altar.

 

Exactly.

Is the Vineyard (the Kingdom of God), for the laborers or for those who do not labor? Is it even possible to be in the Vineyard without being a laborer?

Who does the will of the Father in the Vineyard, the one who works or the one who doesn't?

Proteestant cheap grace is a false gospel.

 

Are you saying both the American Baptists and the National Baptist Convention are not Baptists? I was baptized more than 60 years ago in an American Baptist Church. If this is true, which of their beliefs do not fit under the Baptist Doctrinal Umbrella.

 

Thanks Salty, if a grouping of autonomous churches contains some with their candlestick removed, that does not condemn every church within the group, and certainly not every believer in every church. Historically the ABC were abolitionists, separating from the advocates of slavery. I believe we will see some of them in heaven.

 

We are not afraid of Sda, just do not wish to see their false doctrines and teachings have a way to be seen!

 

You need to start holding to the true Gospel, as since trent Rome has not!

 

Its nothing personal, its just that both Rome and Sda teach another false Gospel!
